Olives in California.

Colonel Ellwood Cooper, the largest
olive grower and manufacturer of sweet
oil in the world, has been at the Lick
for the past day or two. Before he left
yesterday on the Queen for his big
orchards near Santa Barbara, he gave a
reporter some interesting points about
the business. "Santa Barbara is the
great olive country of the United States
and Of the world" said the prosperous
grower. But they can be raised all
the way from San Luis Obispo to San
Diego. / hear Of few trees in GeOr-
gia, but there is nowhere else in Amer,
lea that they are produced except i'll

A Cure for WhOOping Cough.

Maryhill is large and important
suburb of Glasgow. Recently travel
ing cndyman and rag gatherer, with a
cart drawn by an ass, drew up in front
of row of houses known rs Pirrat's
row, a little off the highway at Mary
hill, Glasgow. Two children living in
this quarter were suffering from whoop-
ing cough. After short conversation
with the proprietor Of the ass, the
mothers of the two children took up
position one OH each side of the animal.
One woman took one of the childreL
and passed it below the ASS belly to
the other woman, the child's face being
toward the ground. The woman on the
other side caught hold of the child, and
giving it gentle sOmersault, handed it
back to the other woman over the ass,
the child's face being turned toward the
sky. The process having been repeated
three times, the child was taken away
to the house, and then the second child
was similarly treated. While this was
going on two other children were
brought to undergo the magical cure. In
order that the operation may have its
due effect the ass must not be forgotten,
and mt the close of the ceremony each
mother must carry her child to the head
of the animal and allow it to eat some
thing, such as bread or biscuits, ont of
the child's lap. This proceeding hav-
ing been performed i'll turn by tine four
mothers, the prescribed course was con-
cluded. When it began there were not
many people present, but before it was
finished quite a number of spectators
had gathered. From inquiries made
later it seems the mothers are thorough
ly satisfied that their children are the
better for the enchantment.

The COrba and the Mouse.

I was visiting at friends house in
Calcutta, and was on this evening sitting
at dinner alone. The table had been
some time waiting for the host, and
had ut last received note that he was
not coming home, so l sat down alone.
I had finished dinner and was still lin
gering ut the table, when little mouse
ran up on the top of n bowl with sort
OF basket work cover on it. | should
not have thought that of itself very sin
g,llar, for the "tribes on our frontier"
made most unexpected inc,lrsions. But
when he did get perched on the cover Of
the bowl, the little fellow rose upon his
hind legs, with his hands before him,
and began to entertain me with the fun
NEST little mouse song you can i'm
agine. "Chit-chit, cheep- cheep-chit,"
he whistled, and kept it up before me
in a most unembarrassed and self-pos-
sed little way must have been try
ing audience, for 1 leant back IN my
chair and roared with laughter. AS I
looked at the little performer I grad
ually became aware of a shadow, a some
thing strange gliding out from belinda
dish toward the mouse. Silently and
slowly it neared the mouse, in another
minute a beady snakes eye glittered in
the lamplight.
NV hand stole softly for the carving
knife. The snake reared his head level
with the mouse, and the poor little fell
lows song, which had never ceased, be-
came piercingly shrill though he sat up
rightly erect and motiOnlcss. The
head of the snake drew back a little to
strike. Out flashed the carving knife.
The spell was broken instantly, for the
mouse dropped and s,.ampered. The
snake WAS wounded for there were spots
of blood Oh the tablecloth, and II was
writhing about among the dishes and
plates. | cOrld not make a bold stroke
at any part of t for fear of breaking the
crockerv, and whenever l made n dig
with the point ii was like pricking the
garter. l would not have believed, I'M
til 1 had seen it, how much of himself
y make can stow away under the edge
of plate. At last | saw the edge of
fie tail projecting out from under q
dish. A snake held by the tail and
swung rapidly round cannot turn back
and bite. I grabbed the tail with my
left thumb and finger. and drew him
out until l judged the middle of his
body to be under the knife; then | came
down and cut him in two. He was an

long, but quite long enough to gray.

A VAIL FROM THE FARMERS.
Their Sons Won't Work and Their
Daughters Wear Bustles.

'It's no use trying to get farm help
now" said old Farmer Secley, as he
dropped into an old-fashioned seat ut
the corner store in Newton, n. j., you
can't do it. The rising generation
won't work on a farm, and the immi-
grants are shipped to the far West rs
soon rs they land i'll Castle Garden.
The question of help is the most seri-
GUS one for the farmers of New Jersey
to consider nc present. The lanG Is
good; as a rule We have plenty of
rain, SO that there is no excuse for not
having good crops except that they are
not properly attended to. There is not
a farmer within twenty miles of here
who has help enough. The farmers
boys, as soon as they are able to work.
run off to the cities, or else are sent to
boarding school, or are apprenticed to
some business or trade; and as for the
girls nowadays, they are absolutely use
less ON farm. They learn to sing,
play on a piano and do all sorts of
needlework, but they know next to
nothing about the duties of farmers
wife.
"As matter of fact farmers daugh-
tiers will not take farmers sons for hus-
bands. They want fancy city chaps
who can support them i'll idleness and
luxury. The girl of the period in the
country wears corsets and bustles, and
uses paint and powder with as much
abandon rs her city sisters. She is
above milking the COWS and scrubbing
the churns, and if she is obliged to
work at all she would prefer the sitting,
hot air OF big factory to the freedom and
healthfulness of domestic service i'll the
country.
Thirty or even ten years ago it was
comparatively easy to get all the farm
help We wanted up here in Sussex
county. The country was then full of
lusty Germans and Irishmen, fresh
from the ocean voyage, who were willing
to work cheap III order TO get initiated
into the business Of farming. Hun.
dreds of these newcomers worked hard
for years and at last got married and
settled down on little farms Of their
own. They made tip-top citizens and
excellent farmers. But all this has
changed. At the present time You can
not induce n greenhorn from Castle
Garden, for love or money, to hire out
to farmer. They usually have friends
ahead of them in this country, nova
days, who ship them right of to the
West, where they can make more money
and have infinitely better chances than
III the overcrowded farm lands of the
East. About the only thing that New
Jersey farms are good for now, except
when located nearby the big cities, is
grazing and pasturing. 1t takes only
slight labor to handle cattle, particularly
when We buy about all our own feed,
not having the help to raise much
grain"
